SURVIVAL

I push and shove,

     rebel and resist

          and every once in a while,

                                                  I cry.

But not often enough.

I fume and hate,

     plot and dream

          and occasionally,

                             I cry.

But not often enough.

Sometimes I can write it out,

     walk it out, wait it out,

          or even

               cry it out.

But.  Not.  Often.  Enough.

So I push and

   shove and

      rebel and

         resist and

           fume and

             hate and

                plot and

                   dream and

                      fight and

                         run and

                            punch and

                               cut or

                               die.
